L’European Cleaning and Facility Services Industry (EFCI) è l’organizzazione di rappresentanza del settore dei servizi di pulizia a livello europeo. Recentemente ha pubblicato il suo ultimo rapporto “Covid-19 Impact Analysis” nel quale analizza l’evoluzione del settore negli ultimi anni e l’impatto del Covid-19 sul settore nel 2020.

I rapporti dell’EFCI sono una risorsa importante per il settore, in quanto evidenziano i dati e le tendenze a livello europeo permettendo di comprendere meglio la sua evoluzione.

Il rapporto di settore 2021 è diviso in due sezioni. Nella prima sezione è possibile trovare una panoramica degli indicatori principali che descrivono le caratteristiche del settore delle pulizie europeo, i quali si basano sui dati Eurostat più recenti disponibili (2018). I dati Eurostat fanno riferimento ai 27 paesi membri dell’Unione Europea e Norvegia, Svizzera e Regno Unito.

Nella seconda sezione, invece, viene effettuata un’analisi qualitativa dell’impatto della pandemia di Covid-19 sul settore delle pulizie in Europa, basata sui dai forniti dai membri dell’EFCI tramite un questionario condotto durante l’estate 2021.

Secondo i dati Eurostat, tra il 2014 e il 2018, il numero dei dipendenti nell’industria delle pulizie è cresciuto ogni anno, raggiungendo 4,19 milioni di persone occupate nel settore. I dati evidenziano che in quest’ambito, i paesi che hanno registrato la crescita maggiore sono Danimarca, Lettonia e Cipro, con un tasso di crescita di oltre il 40% nell’interno periodo di riferimento.

Inoltre, nello stesso periodo, il settore delle pulizie europeo ha registrato un aumento del 16,5% del fatturato, raggiungendo quasi 130 miliardi di euro nel 2018. I paesi che hanno registrato la crescita maggiore del fatturato sono stati Germania (+39%), Polonia (+34%) e Regno Unito (+34%).

Tuttavia, a causa della pandemia globale di Covid-19, il settore ha subito importanti effetti. Il rapporto, infatti, mostra come il fatturato complessivo del settore delle pulizie sia diminuito a livello europeo. Ciò è dovuto principalmente a causa del calo del numero di contratti a seguito di cancellazioni o sospensioni. Il settore è stato messo a dura prova nella maggior parte dei paesi europei a causa della chiusura di massa durante il lockdown.

La diminuzione del fatturato si registra in particolare nelle aziende operanti nel settore dei trasporti, intrattenimento, turismo e ospitalità. Il paese ad aver registrato il calo maggior è la Francia, con un calo del 21%.

Per far fronte alle conseguenze negative del calo del fatturato, molte imprese di pulizie hanno incrementato i propri servizi, introducendo anche nuove tecnologie. Nella seconda metà dell’anno, quando i paesi stavano gradualmente uscendo dal lockdown, si è registrato un rallentamento nel calo del fatturato, diminuendo quindi l’impatto negativo.

La pandemia ha portato anche dei cambiamenti significativi, in particolare per quanto riguarda l’orario lavorativo per i servizi di pulizia. Infatti, se nel periodo pre-Covid l’attività di pulizia si concentrava al mattino presto e alla sera, a partire dal 2020 le strutture richiedono che la pulizia venga effettuata durante l’orario di lavoro diurno. Questo è dovuto principalmente alla prevenzione della contaminazione a garanzia della sicurezza e del benessere dei dipendenti.

Il settore delle pulizie ha ottenuto importanti riconoscimenti a livello europeo, tuttavia mancano ancora delle azioni politiche e necessarie per garantire che le richieste di lunga data di questo settore siano ascoltate.

It recently published its latest report “Covid-19 Impact Analysis” in which it analyzes the evolution of the sector in recent years and the impact of Covid-19 on the sector in 2020.

The EFCI reports are an important resource for the sector, as they highlight data and trends at the European level allowing a better understanding of its evolution.

EFCI’s 2021 Industry Report is divided in two sections. In the first section there is an overview of the main indicators describing the characteristics of the European cleaning sector, which are based on the most recent Eurostat data available (2018). Eurostat data refer to the 27 member countries of the European Union and Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

In the second section, instead, a qualitative analysis of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cleaning sector in Europe is carried out, based on the data provided by EFCI members through a questionnaire conducted during the summer of 2021.

According to Eurostat data, between 2014 and 2018, the number of employees in the cleaning industry grew every year, reaching 4.19 million people employed in the sector. The data show that in this area, the countries that recorded the highest growth are Denmark, Latvia and Cyprus, with a growth rate of over 40% in the entire reference period.

Furthermore, in the same period, the European cleaning sector recorded a 16.5% increase in turnover, reaching almost 130 billion euros in 2018. The countries that recorded the greatest growth in turnover were Germany (+ 39%), Poland (+ 34%) and the United Kingdom (+ 34%).
However, due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, the sector has suffered major effects. The report, in fact, shows how the overall turnover of the cleaning sector has decreased at the European level. This is mainly due to the decline in the number of contracts following cancellations or suspensions. The sector has been severely tested in most European countries due to the mass closure during the lockdown.

The decrease in turnover is recorded in particular in companies operating in the transport, entertainment, tourism and hospitality sectors. The country to have recorded the greatest decline is France, with a drop of 21%.

To cope with the negative consequences of the decline in turnover, many cleaning companies have increased their services, also introducing new technologies. In the second half of the year, when countries were gradually pulling out of the lockdown, there was a slowdown in the decline in turnover, thus diminishing the negative impact.

The pandemic has also brought significant changes, particularly in the working hours for cleaning services. In fact, if in the pre-Covid period the cleaning activity was concentrated in the early morning and in the evening, starting from 2020 the structures require that cleaning be carried out during daytime working hours. This is mainly due to the prevention of contamination to ensure the safety and well-being of employees.

The cleaning sector has gained major recognition at European level, yet there is still a lack of political and necessary actions to ensure that the long-standing demands of this sector are heard.
